Elementary School

 * Fiction vs. Non-fiction**. Honestly, the kiddos get confused on this one at just about every grade level. We teach students that fiction is "fake" and non-fiction is "not fake". Notice that the words "fiction" and "fake" both begin with the same letters and sounds. Notice also that "non-fiction" and "not fake" have the same consonant sounds. Be careful of the examples that you give very young students because folks like Santa and the Tooth Fairy might be upset.

High School

 * Keeping Track of Passwords**. We don't have a ton of subscription programs that our students access (compared to what the faculty must keep track of), but students have a hard time remembering their usernames and passwords. Until that wonderful day that we find a consistent and secure way of building student usernames and passwords we have a helpful tip. As usual, this tip was created by a clever student. Students always have a cell phone on hand. Every cell phone has some way of storing information whether through a contact note or an actual note in an app like Evernote or GoogleDrive. Students can save their login information and password hints on their cell phone.
